Xray Racing Series Australia Rd2 – Report

The Canberra club recently hosted round 2 of the Xray Racing Series Australia. Unfortunately the 2019 edition of the club’s round was to end in the same way as 2018 – with rain. The weather looked great at the start of the day, unfortunately as the progressed showers threatened, finally arriving just as the finals started. With the race meeting cancelled the organisers declared the results on the three rounds of completed qualifying. Before the rain, racing in all classes was close with only a few seconds separating the top three drivers in most classes. Alex Ilievski posted his fastest time in round three to take the overall win in Touring Stock 13.5, Nathan Tanti posted his quickest time in round two allowing him to secure 2nd place from an inconsistent Mark Wallin who finished 3rd.

XRS Poland Nitro Off-road – Report

The Xray Racing Series Poland Nitro Off-road was held at the new track in Wlodawa recently. The track features a smooth US-style layout that was really challenging for man and machine as the big jumps and some of the corners make it difficult to pull consistent laps. The weekend kicked off with super dry conditions during Friday’s practice with the grip coming up on Saturday. Bartek Zalewski was the man to beat in 1/8th Buggy and E-Buggy with Seweryn Skowronski and Marek Cisek coming in 2nd and 3rd in the Nitro Buggy class as Sebastian Migal and Wojtek Rzepecki completed the qualifying top 3 in E-Buggy.
